Lyrics - That's Life by Frank Sinatra

Writer(s): kay/gordon/kay/gordon
That’s life, that’s what people say.
You’re riding’ high in april,
Shot down in may.
But
I know
I’m gonna change that tune,
When
I’m back on top in june.
That’s life, funny as it seems.
Some people get their kicks,
Steppin’ on dreams;
But
I don’t let it get me down,’cause this ol’ word keeps getting around.
I’ve been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate,
A poet, a pawn and a king.
I’ve been up and down and over and out
And
I know one thing:
Each time
I find myself flat on my face,
I pick myself up and get back in the race.
That’s life,
I can’t deny it,
I thought of quitting,
But my heart just won’t buy it.
If
I didn’t think it was worth a try,
I’d roll myself up in a big ball and die
